Sharlayan, the island place we go to in the north that is labelled as "Old Sharlayan" in our teleport menu, is not part of Eorzea.

Sharlayan, the colony place in the Dravanian Hinterlands that was abandoned fifteen years ago, is part of Eorzea.

Both are called "Sharlayan" by everyone, including people from (Old) Sharlayan and from Eorzea. When told that this causes much confusion, people from both Sharlayans went "that sounds like a you problem". If forced, they call the Dravanian Sharlayan "Emporium". (We only learn of this in Endwalker while browsing the Noumenon, so it could be something the lore team came up with offhand.)

Every time Sharlayan is referred to as one of the "city-states of Eorzea", they mean the Dravanian colony.
